Review: Having spent much of the last half-decade developing his brand of stripped-back acid house revivalism, Arttu Sellman has decided to switch things up. For this release on 4 Lux Black, he's donned the alternative Lump alias - last seen in 2010 - and moved further towards musically rich and densely layered deep house. Both "Rain" and "A Promise" blend traditional deep house tropes with more organic musical samples - think electric guitars, bluesy vocal samples, and such - and throbbing synthesizer basslines inspired by '80s electrofunk. He goes even further on the EP's standout moment, "U Talkin", which expertly combines killer blues, funk-rock and disco samples to create a throbbing deep house pumper.
